Threat Alert?

14 years ago

XP;ie7;cable;AVG. Today is Thursday. AVG has put the large, red, half-screen THREAT ALERT on the access screen for the GardenWeb/THS web site. They did come from AVG.

I've Googled for AVG/Gardenweb threat information. Seems there's been false ALERTS in the past but nothing recently. I contacted AVG HELP and, as usual, came away with little useful information

So, a few minutes ago I deleted the ALERT screens and came on to this site. I'm still uneasy that maybe my system is being infiltrated with a virus and who knows what else.

Has anyone encountered this problem? What did you do? The threat reads: nbcudigitaladops.com/hosted/js/ths_gardenweb_com.js.

Did I do the right thing? Is there something additionally I should do? I think I could add this to a list of acceptable exceptions and do away with the red alerts, but should I? How would I know how serious this threat might be? Thanks, Gene
